Nowadays everyone is walking around with little canvas bags. It’s the “thing” to do, you know, looking out for the planet, doing your part, etc. A friend and I were chatting the other day about all the free advertising this new “ecotrend” has produced. Now the women with LV’s, double C’s and Big D’s are also walking billboards for Whole Foods (ok, I admit it, I have about 4 Whole Foods bags… my fav is the Sheryl Crow design), TJ Maxx (The New IT Bag), Stop and Shop, you name it. It’s like we’re all branded. Our shoes, our clothes, our bags, our sunglasses…. it’s like enough already!
In the spirit of poking fun and making a statement I created this bag/ logo for myself and my friends to make fun of all the corporate-branded people out there… it got enough compliments and/or strange looks that I decided to offer it here. I wanted to keep stock for myself, but I hardly have time to grocery shop ….I know I wouldn’t be able to keep an inventory, etc., so I enlisted the help of CafePress. That way it’s all secure and easy to buy. You can also get t-shirts there. Everything is $25. I’m working on some more ideas, so be sure to check in with the Shop page from time to time!
My web guru is in the process of helping me open a “real” on-line store. I envision: T-shirts, Bags, and the occasional piece of local couture.
If you want to be a part of the Urban Socialite online shop, email me (best to use designer@urbansocialite.com ) and we can chat.
I promise I will be better at answering my emails. Seriously!
